rate is ob tainable the new rate will be 4c per kwh for the first 55 hours when it drops to 15c for all temain- ing consumption the old rate was itc with a drop to 2c after 50 hours use commercial

the new rates become effective with the june billing there is no change in the minimun bills which of course was not to be expected the minimum bill for house lighting is only 25c per week or 100 per

priced seed how many people know the mar ket value of a bushel of cauliflower seed very few we venture to state it is seldom quoted in market reports and not often handled by seedmen one bushel of cauliflower seed is valued at 1680 if the price paid for a pound by a local grower in whit church is correct and it is s w hastings purchased a pound of this precious seed a few days ago and it didnt make a package any larger than a pound of butter but the sale price paid the seed house was 28 the lowest quotation we have heard of this spring is 23 pound at such fabulous price a car load of cauli flower seed would require more money to purchase than the everage city seed company possesses poll tax births baker in stouffville may 22 1929 to mr and mrs edward baker a son road supt wanted

baker prop i the payment of the poll tax in newmarket seems to be not very well understood by many young men of the town and some resent ment against our council seems to be felt the poll tax is certainly nothing new and its cause re- sentiment has persisted for over 500 years for in 1381 the imposition of a poll tax in england caused a revolution and has never been pop ular since that time this tax is only payable by adults who pay no property tax it is not imposed by the town council but by the act of provincial government so that our council are not deserving of any criticism in this regard pos sibly they have been somewhat lax in collecting it poll tax should be collected and it is the duty of every one not paying taxes on property or business to pay it to help in a very slight
